VIDEO: Humane Society's Pet Of The Week

The Connecticut Humane Society is hoping that someone will fall in love with this "handsome pup" Cosmo and take him home.

"Cosmo is an absolute love. When I take him for walks, we spend part of the time with him resting his head in my hand while I pet him," according to volunteers at the Connecticut Humane Society. "He just sits there looking up at me and soaking up every bit of attention that he can."

Cosmo is a four-year Chihuahua who enjoys the company of children older than eight, cats and dogs. He can live in any type of housing, included apartments.

If you are interested in Cosmo or any of the other animals at the Connecticut Humane Society, log onto its website to see a gallery of all the adoptable pets and to learn about the adoption rules and procedures. 

The Connecticut Humane Society is located at 701 Russell Rd. in Newington and its phone number is (800) 452-0114. The hours of operation are from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sundays.

If you have plenty of pets at home but still want to help out these great animals, the organization is always accepting donations of food, toys and supplies.
